1964 Washington Quarter DDO?

Can't see anything...that's why. You have the coin lit from the side, a bad position for trying to show doubling. The lighting needs to be flat onto the surface of the coin shadowing the sides of the devices. The picture also needs to be far closer to the coin - you need to be using a microscope for your image.

With it backed away to that level it would have to be a major doubled die to be visible, and I don't see anything in the photo provided.

JimR,

Coppercoins is right,photo is poorly lit.Also looks like you might have moved as you took picture.

From the photos I assume you have a macro on the camera.

As the coins get smaller unless the doubling is pronounced,I find
it harder to image with a camera which is all I have.

Experiment with your imaging.

I take all my photos on the highest image setting,usually TIFF mode.
After downloading if trying to isolate a particular area,I increase image size and then crop out the area I want.I then save as .jpg which reduces the file size greatly.

Try rotating the coin to get the area you want in the best light.You can always reorientate the image once you get it on your computer.

This one was taken with Nikon Coolpix 950 2.1 megapixel which I bought for just over $100,used of course.

JimR,

Photos are better,but still need to work on your lighting.

Based on your photos that is not a doubled die.

Based on my personal experience until you actually hold a true Doubled Die in your hands,it's hard to understand the difference.
Even photos don't always help.
One day that light bulb will come on and you'll wonder how
could I have thought that was a Doubled Die.A few years ago I was right were you are now.I am still learning.

If you have a favorite dealer that keeps alot of junk silver on hand especially Kennedy Halfs,Washington Quarters and Roosevelt dimes this is a good place to look.Doubled Dies and RPM's abound in these series.

I don't agree that it's Machine Doubling or a doubled die. Although the image is much better, I still don't see anything outside a normal coin there.
